What if the goal of today’s creative session wasn’t to make something good—but simply to play?

In Day 7 of 20 Days to Spark Creativity challenge, artist Marie-Noëlle Wurm invites you to use leftover gouache paint as an excuse to experiment freely with color, texture, and mark-making. No planning. No pressure. No perfect results. Just curiosity, presence, and joy.

You’ll explore flat opaque shapes, dry brush textures, unexpected color mixing, and the versatility of gouache, all while reminding yourself that your sketchbook is a space for exploration, silliness, and creative freedom.

This exercise is about loosening up, reconnecting with color, and embracing the messy, imperfect phases of creativity that often lead to breakthroughs.
